In the realm of unraveling COVID-19's intricacies, numerous metabolomic investigations have been conducted to discern the unique metabolic traits exhibited within infected patients. These endeavors have yielded a substantial reservoir of potential data pertaining to metabolic biomarkers linked to the virus. Despite these strides, a comprehensive and meticulously structured database housing these crucial biomarkers remains absent. In this study, we developed MetaboliteCOVID, a manually curated database of COVID-19-related metabolite markers. The database currently comprises 665 manually selected entries of significantly altered metabolites associated with early diagnosis, disease severity, prognosis, and drug response in COVID-19, encompassing 337 metabolites. Additionally, the database offers a user-friendly interface, containing abundant information for querying, browsing, and analyzing COVID-19-related abnormal metabolites in different body fluids. In summary, we believe that this database will effectively facilitate research on the functions and mechanisms of COVID-19-related metabolic biomarkers, thereby advancing both basic and clinical research on COVID-19.
